Increasig your motivation makes it easier to accomplish your goals. Interior design specialists from Hovia have shared their top tips on interior design changes to boost your motivation that you can make now.

Add more plants

Adding more plants or things that bring you back to nature, like plant wallpaper, can really benefit your indoor space. According to research conducted at the University of Exeter, including plant components in your daily diet has been shown to significantly improve your well-being by 47%, creativity by 45%, and productivity by 38%. Reduced cortisol levels and a lower risk of psychiatric disorders also have positive effects, making it easier to recover from stress. 

Decorating your home or office with plants or building a plant shelf are great ways to bring more nature into your space. Another way to directly involve plants is to display fresh flowers in a vase. You can incorporate elements of nature by purchasing natural furniture or putting wallpaper of nature on a feature wall.

 

Neutral space

There are numerous advantages to getting enough sleep, including increased motivation, alertness, and immunity. Create complete darkness in your bedroom while you sleep to improve your sleeping pattern and help you relax. According to UDesign, 70% of people in the UK sleep less than seven hours per night. This is a significant number because even getting half an hour less sleep than is necessary can have a negative impact on your health over time. According to research conducted by the Sleep Foundation, sleeping in darkness can assist in stimulating the production of melatonin, a hormone that aids in faster sleep. 

Investing in blackout blinds, shutters, or curtains to create the darkest bedroom possible is one of the best ways to get a good night’s sleep. Your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate can all be slowed down by selecting a cool or neutral wallpaper or paint color like blue, green, or grey. Make your bedroom smell like lavender by using essential oils or diffusers to create a more tranquil setting that will help you fall asleep faster. In the late spring months utilize a calm fan or fleece duvet to forestall overheating around evening time.

 

Surfaces that reflect light

If at all possible, turn off the fluorescent lights in your office or home and open the windows to let the sun shine in. According to Dako Windows’ research, exposure to natural light not only aids in the production of vitamin D in the body but also has positive effects on circadian rhythms, sleeping patterns, motivation, and has been shown to boost happiness and mood. 

Hang a mirror on a wall opposite a window to spread more light inside the room or painting/decorating your walls and roofs in white to light up the room. Keeping your windows clean to allow all the more light in and by and arrange your furnishings, so it doesn’t block the windows. Use reflective or metal surfaces that will bounce the light around the room.

 

Your own space

Updating a corner that hasn’t been used in a while to make a new area for yourself is a simple and satisfying way to update your room. It will also give you a designated area to relax in. For instance, turns this space into a yoga or reflection space so you can deal with your stress, decrease pessimistic feelings, boost your imagination, and find motivation for your daily life.

You create your own space and isolate a section of the room by with a quieting backdrop or different paint colour. An alternative is to purchase a room separator to truly transform your corner into a relaxing space. You’ll also feel less stressed and be more productive if you keep the space clean and clutter-free.

 

A beautiful view

In your home or office, try to get a good, unobstructed view of some kind of nature experience or natural area. It has been demonstrated to have beneficial health effects, such as increasing creativity, vitality, and motivation, according to Chromogenics. You are also less likely to take sick days from work, according to research.

You can design your space to have a view by creating one with art prints that are inspired by nature or photos, or you can choose wallpaper with beautiful landscapes. Hanging plants around your window are great, and they also help bring more plants inside.
